How to Prepare Kale: Five Simple Recipes for You

While it may taste bitter to some, I find it very flavorful. Perhaps it’s more of an acquired taste, as I have learned how to appreciate its flavor through the years.

In this post, I will share with you some of the simplest kale recipes. It is my hope that by following any (or all, if you can) of these recipes, you will eventually develop a liking for this super food.

Kale Chips

Kale pesto

This is another simple recipe that should not take you more than 5 minutes to finish. I am not kidding-- that’s how easy to prepare this dish is!

You will need the following Ingredients:

check

Olive oil (about ½ cup)

check

2-3 cups of torn kale and parsley

check

1 medium clove of garlic

check

½ cup of raw almonds

check

¼ teaspoon of salt

check

Juice of one lemon

Prepare the kale pesto by following these steps:

Add the kale, salt, olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice in a blender or a food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth.

Add the almonds to the mixture. Grind until it reaches desired consistency.

That’s it! You can now spread this pesto to a sandwich, or top it to pasta or pizza. A cup of this pesto should make around 7 to 8 servings.

You might wonder why there’s no basil in this recipe. I tried to use basil once but I just didn’t like how it blended with the rest of the ingredients. But this doesn’t mean you can’t try it.

Kale soup

This dish isn’t the quickest to prepare or cook in this list. It also doesn’t have the shortest list of ingredients. But I can assure you that it will make you feel satisfied. It’s also a great comfort food to have during those frosty winter mornings.
